Portugal has approved a new law allowing Brazilians to apply for residency after entering as tourists. Key highlights include:
- Tourists Can Stay and Apply: Brazilians and Timorese can now apply for residency permits while in Portugal as tourists, without needing a visa first.
- CPLP Agreement in Action: This law follows the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) agreement to improve mobility for Portuguese-speaking nations.
- Residency Made Easier: Tourists with legal entry can apply for a temporary residency permit without leaving Portugal.
- Boosts Workforce: Portugal hopes to attract skilled workers and address labor shortages in critical sectors.
- Cuts Bureaucracy: The law speeds up legalization and reduces paperwork for immigrants.
- Strengthens Oversight: Authorities have increased inspections at airports to ensure compliance with the rules.
- Focus on Integration: The government expects this change to improve social and economic integration for Brazilians.
- Benefits Brazilians Most: The law directly benefits Brazilians and Timorese, but other CPLP nationals still need visas to enter Portugal.
- Deepens Cultural Ties: Portugal aims to strengthen bonds with Portuguese-speaking countries through this initiative.
- Encourages Future Agreements: This law could pave the way for similar policies in other CPLP nations.
Portugal’s decision simplifies the process for Brazilians to gain residency, supports the economy, and strengthens ties with Portuguese-speaking nations.
